How far in advance are dates released?

[LUVTHEMAGIC]

We rebooked on board for Nov. 25, 2006 Eastern Magic but I want to switch it to March, April or May of 2007. When will these dates be released ? Also am I looking a at big jump in price?

It seems they are 2 years out in advance b/c Jan 2007 is available. I have been following closely, b/c we would like to rebook for Feb 2007.

Hi! Hope this helps. The 2006 rates (Except for beginning of January) came out on September 29, 2004. That is the first date I was able to book our July 2006 cruise. Hope this helps. Since we were on a previous cruise and I wanted the on board credit and 10% savings I had to book a cruse that was available at that time. When the 2006 rates came out I then changed to the date I wanted.

What I would do would be to fax a request to Inventory Control. This way you have your foot in the door so to speak. Also, if you wish to book a SPR or a Cat. 1, 2 or 3, this will get you on a waitlist if one has been started (and I imagine there probably is one already!!) I would think the dates would be released toward the end of the year. As far as a big jump in price, my guess would probably be yes. HTH

When I booked while on board in August of 2004 they gave me a date of December 2005. When I changed to July of 2006 the rate went up about $950.00. This is for two adults. This is also for a Category 6.

I'm also looking to book our next cruise...during our FIRST cruise this May! I hope to cruise May 2007! I am patiently waiting for the 2007 dates to open up! I guess I'll just have to do what everyone else is...book for what is available in 2006, and change it when 2007 dates open up...and a good rebate is available from a TA.
